GPS problem with 3GS

Dont know what's wrong with my GPS service. I can use the "map" app. But when i use "Navigon", it shows that "no GPS service found". I used Navigon before, and it worked perfectly. My friend also has 3GS and the same app. No any GPS problem. I tried to download and install again, but it still doesnt work. Also tried restarting iphone. >.<
Can someone help me? Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Apple announced no such problem because there was and is no such problem. This would mean every single 3GS has a GPS problem or failure. Hogwash.
The GPS receiver on your 3GS may have a problem. Hardware can and does fail.

  • All these problems with 3GS update of iSO4...IS IT WORTH IT YET? or wait?

    Hi all,
    So there are tons of issues going on with the 3gS updated with iSO4..
    is it worth it or should I just wait until next update?
    I dont want to lose anything on my phone or anything...
    Also, if its really frustrating if things dont work after the update, can I bring it back to 3GS?
    Thanks!

  • Sync applications problem with 3GS and new computer

    Hopefully someone can help me out. I am trying to sync my fiancee's 3GS to our new Dell laptop that has Windows 7. I had no problem syncing and updating my 3GS with the same computer last night, I updated to the 4.0 last night on my phone. I then tried to update her phone. It asked me to backup and sync all data prior to updating. I was able to back up and sync contacts and photos without a problem. I tried to transfer the applications; and now I keep receiving this message: "Some of the purchased items on iPhone could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer." I certainly authorized the computer; thinking that might be the problem, I deauthorized and reauthorized the computer successfully (It says that I have one out of 5 possible computers authorized). That did not solve the issue. I researched into the topic; and now my brain hurts. One of the threads requested to disable the automatic sync when the iPhone is connected to the computer. I reset the settings, powered down the iPhone and exited out of iTunes; rebooted and still no success. I am getting frustrated but do not want to erase all of her applications and buy them again. This message is applying to both free and purchased applications. When I look at the applications page on iTunes; all of her program icons are apparent. I am not an iPhone genius, but I read that the new computer has never recognized the phone and the sync will go from computer to phone (if I understood correctly). Does that mean I need to reinstall iTunes and start from scratch with this computer; or is there a solution? Both of our phones were rarely synced with our old laptop; but I worry that syncing with that computer will only further complicate the situation. Without transferring the applications, I am hesitant to update the phone to 4.0 and the new carrier settings. Do I just let the computer try to transfer the applications it allows and then lose my apps and do the update? I don't want to do that unless that is my only choice. Please help me!

    Not sure if this helps, but:-
    I just got an IPhone4 - Gave My IPhone3 to husband.
    We ended up hsving to set up two login users on the PC (not sure how to do that) and then two seperate ITunes accounts, one for each of us.

  • GPS problem with Curve

    My GPS sometime work and sometime doesn't with my BB curve
    Telus told me this was a know issue that the new release 4.5 would fix this problem¸
    For Now telus are at 4.3, but I see BB web site is at 4.6
    Does any telus user tried that ?  Will it upgrade my blackberry firmware or it's only a Desktop SOftware upgrade ?
    JF

    You need capital EDGE to get data (GPS) on the curve. you may be out of a covered area. If you travel around a lot you may want to drop the battery out for 30 sec. and then re-install it and see if you get the EDGE.

  • Sync problems with 3gs and itunes after update iOS 5.0

    I am using a Vista PC with iTunes10.5. After updating my 3gs to iOS 5.0 I am not able to sync the phone. iTunes recognizes my iphone and then stays syncing at the backup stage....I deleted all my apps on the phone and deleted previous backups and tried syncing again, but in vain. I am clueless....

    I just plugged it into my netbook and its Restoring it on there so thanks, I know I will lose what I never had backed up but just be happy if it works. Fingers crossed this fixes it.
    Edit: It didnt work, come up with iTunes isnt connected to the internet then the restore fails

  • Syncing problem with 3GS

    I have registered my 3GS with my iTunes account but every time I plug it in it want's me to register again.  Why?

    i dont know if this will help you but i used to get an issue like this on my 3g, when its optimizing the photos, it would have the name of the current photo its uploading at the top of itunes, if you go into wherever you have your synced photos on the computer, find the photo that was nammed in itunes at the time of the error, move the picture completely out of the folder and try again. not 100% sure but i believe it had something to do with photos that i had already synced to the computer, then deleted off the phone.

  • Syncing problem with 3Gs, please help!

    I just bought the new iphone. I then sync'd my old phone one last time with iTunes 8, then plugged in the new phone assuming that the backed-up sync would carry to my new phone. It seems the new phone only sees a sync from a few months ago, so not all of my settings and texts and emails have carried over. Please help!

    Just did a full restore on my 3GS and when it restored it properly restored the latest/desired backup set of everything.

  • Started having GPS problems with my Galaxy Note 4 after the Lollipop update

    Before the update it worked pretty good, it would loose signal every once in a while. Maybe once or twice a trip. Now it is almost completely unusable. It will just constantly loose signal, or not update at all. Is there any word of this being fixed any time soon? 

    Hi there
    I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing GPS issues! I’d be happy to help! Can you please answer the following for me so we can get a better grasp on what’s happening?
    Application being used (E.G. Google Maps)
    GPS setting (Device only, Battery saving, High accuracy)
    Frequency of GPS signal loss
    Thanks,

  • New 4s connects with bluetooth in my Lexus, but I have intermittent problems with calls.  I can hear them, but they can't hear me.  Never did this with 3gs.  Anyone else have this problem?

    New 4s connected to my Lexus bluetooth.  Having intermittent problem with calls.  I can hear them, but they can't hear me.  Never a problem with 3gs phone.  Anyone else having this problem? 

    I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple.  I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it.  Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours),  I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
    I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway).  Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent.  I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
    Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something.  Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.

  • Problem with wifi, gps & backlight

    I have an iPhone 3GS which has an intermittent problem with the backlight, and also the wifi & gps have failed siknce upgrading the handset to IOS 6, are these niggles fixable, as I'd prefer to keep the phone as it's in immaculate condition?
    Any idea on the cost?

    Hi roberto-
    Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

  • The most strange problem with my 3GS

    Hi everyone,
    I would like to apologise for being so stressful today but I just received a phone call from my carrier from which I bought my iPhone and he informed that they need 615€ for repairing my iPhone
    So, what's the story...
    About a year and 3 months ago, I bought a brand new iPhone 3GS 32GB. After 9 months, I had a minor problem with the home button that did not respond some times. I went to my carrier to repair it and what the service department did was to change the mainboard at no cost since I had a 1 year warranty.
    After that, the phone was functioning perfectly.
    About 20 days ago, I wanted to restore from a backup, as I had deleted some phone numbers that I needed again. I connected the phone to my Mac, launced iTunes and chose restore. At the question "Restore and Update", I clicked "yes" and the process begun and finished. I had version 3.1.3 installed in my phone and updated to 4.2.1.
    And here comes the weared part...
    When the phone rebooted, ALL ICONS WERE GONE!!! I cound see only the wallpaper
    I reseted the phone and when it turned on it asked to connect with iTunes.
    I connected it and iTunes poped a message that the phone is in recovery mode.
    I tried to restore again but in the middle of the process an error message poped up again about en error 1015...
    The phone was rebooting again and again until it closed form low battery...
    So, I went to my carrier from which I boughted for service. Afetr 20 days they called me saying that the phone needs new motherboard and it costs 615€ for reapairing it since my warranty was expired...
    I have all the papers that proove my sayings. If you could see my phone, you would suppose that is brand new!!! Never fallen, never weted
    OK, I can survive without an iPhone.
    BUT I HAVE LOST ALL MY CONTACTS PLUS VARIOUS LOGIN PASSWORDS THAT I HAVE STORED IN AWESOME NOTE APPLICATION.
    And I have one single and simple question: WHY?
    What I did wrong?
    Why I have to pay for 615€ for having my phone back?
    Why I have to pay more to buy a new one since I had an excellent phone that did its work fine and was like a brand new one?
    WHO IS GOING TO LISTEN TO MY PROBLE AND PAY ANY KIND OF ATTENTION?
    I really don't know what to do... And you know something? I cannot afford to buy a new one...
    Thanks for reading.

    deggie, thank you too for your kind reply.
    OK, I bought the phone from my carrier's official store (the central one in Athens which is the biggest in country) when I renewed my annual subscription on November 2009. It was sealed. And the change to the logic board 9 months ago was made by the carrier's exclusive service.
    I have heard about "jail braking" hobbit and I GIVE YOU MY WORD THAT I NEVER DID OR TRIED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!
    Why? Simply because I already have a Garmin GPS device and all I need from my phone are 4 applications that I needed to purchase in order to do my work:
    1) FTPOnTheGo (in case I have to download or upload something in my server or change a PHP or JavaScript file)
    2) Team Viewer (in case I need to reach my Mac from far away)
    3) QuickOffice (for my Microsoft Office files)
    4) Brain Challenge 2 (in case I am somewhere I have to wait and I want to "kill" my time)
    That's it! End of story! Everything else is not useful for me at any level.
    And something else... I am a programmer and web developer since 2000.
    One thing that I have learned is NEVER HACK A READY-MADE PLATFORM BECAUSE THE NEXT TIME YOU UPDATE IT WILL CRASH!
    The irony is that all people around me have jail broken their phones and they work like dopped horses I feel so stupid that I wanted to be the exception!
    Finally, I spent the last 4 hours searching in Google for a solution. I found several things that made me say "Yes, this is the solution, I made it!"
    I downloaded 3.1.3 .pwn, 4.2.1 .pwn and tried to restore but nothing.
    I also tried redSnow, blackRain, yellowYogurt, blueOrange and all these jail braking solutions with the silly names but nothing worked.
    I also tried a software named umbrella to stop the recovery mode. Nothing.
    I pressed power button and home button for 10''. Nothing.
    iPhone still reboots like a fading pregnant cow, it is still in recovery mode and I still get this 1015 error...
